Hello everyone
August 25, 2015 at 8:58 pm
Hey everyone, hope you're all having a fantastic day
I'm Tunisian, 21 years old. I consider myself as staunch an atheist as say; Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Sam Harris ....
I've joined this forum because I've had certain questions in mind that I would like to share with you.
I am interested in reading, and discussing your perspectives, as I delve deeper into the understanding of our world ( almost tempted to utter creation, some habits never die)

Welcome, friend. I know Tunisia is a bit safer than many of the crazier muslim countries.
Still, watch your back.

Welcome aboard. Did you start off in a religion or get really lucky in the parent sweepstakes? Also, is it safe to be an atheist where you are? (Hope so.)

Nah I was actually quite religious my parents were relatively secular however ( which I forgot to mention for some reason ). And it is relatively safe in here. You might get malevolent looks from people who know you're an atheist, but not to the point where they would cut your head off

Always happy to encounter another atheist.

Welcome. Who are those guys you mentioned? (hehe)
You may have more questions before you're through. I only came to lurk, that didn't last long.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.

Friends for the most part, sadly. And I'm sincerely looking forward to dealing with those future questions!

If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

I'm sure Vic will be along shortly with some welcome waffles. I brought the sodas.
